The movie: SF Sketchfest kicks off with a screening and conversation celebrating the 10th anniversary of “Napoleon Dynamite.” And there’ll be a 30th anniversary screening of “Top Secret,” the classic parody of Cold War spy films and Elvis Presley musicals. But we’re most excited about the 30th anniversary screening of “Revenge of the Nerds.” Set to appear are Curtis Armstrong (“Booger”), Robert Carradine (“Lewis”), Timothy Busfield (“Poindexter”) and a whole host of other stars from the ’80s comedy classic. Hosted by Chris Hardwick. Tickets: $30. 8:30 p.m. Feb. 8 at the Castro Theatre.

The stories: One of the most fun SF Sketchfest events is always Celebrity Autobiography, and this year’s installment promises to be a hoot. Feb. 8’s “Music Edition” will feature the likes of Rachel Dratch, Florence Henderson, Laraine Newman and Fred Willard, among others. But we’d like to give a nod to Beth Lisick and Arline Klatte (both SFGate.com alums), whose Porchlight Storytelling series is getting some Sketchfest love on Sunday at the Verdi Club. Tickets: $20.

The tribute: This year’s festival pays tribute to Tenacious D, “Key and Peele” and Alan Arkin. But looking a little closer to home, we’re looking forward to the salute to Bay Area legends Coyle & Sharpe. Peter Hartlaub writes: In a wonderful local touch, Sketchfest is honoring these radio comedy pioneers, with a tribute including a live appearance by Mal Sharpe. Sharpe, who honed his craft working with Jim Coyle at KGO in San Francisco, will play clips from his private archive. Bullseye podcaster Jesse Thorn hosts.” Tickets: $15. 4 p.m. Feb. 9 at the Eureka Theatre.

The podcast: We love the Nerdist podcast, and we’re not afraid to say that this is one of the events we’re looking forward to most. Host extraordinaire Chris Hardwick (“Talking Dead,” “@ Midnight”) takes the stage with co-hosts Jonah Ray and Matt Mira for a night of comedy. Guests TBD. Tickets: $30. 10 p.m. Feb.7 at Marines Memorial Theatre.
